The beautiful memory and endless reverie brought to you.

It is said that Yuhua, Jinhua and Yinhua are three ancient caves, Yuhua Cave is like a man, the big brother has always been with its broad chest to accept the inclusion of tourists from all over the world, and Jinhua Cave and Yinhua Cave is a two-bit affectionate maiden, has always been so euphemistic, shy, reserved, "holding a pipa and half cover the face" ... ... ... also because of its respectively lived "Jinhua flower fairy" and "Yinhua flower fairy" and famous, this "three Chinese" legend story in our Hakka Yung City, a household name, women and children know, although there are different versions, but its beautiful and touching, interesting storyline is generally consistent.

Drinking the water of the Jinxi River, said the Jinxi water sweet; to the people who have been to will music, know that there is this moving legend.

Along the Minjiang River upstream, in its tributary Jinxi River, located in a beautiful small city ~ the ancient Yongcheng. At that time, water transportation was very developed (I know, the seventies to the early eighties, in my impression of batches of bamboo, wood are still from the waterway to Yungcheng ~ Fuzhou), Yongcheng (will be happy) and Yungcheng (Fuzhou) between the Jinxi River this white tie between tightly entwined to eat the waterway boaters to the White Lotus, Longqi Mountain woolen paper, Longchi green stone inkstone, dried bamboo shoots, Shouxing sugar and bamboo products, forests Timber and other local products shipped to Rongcheng sale, and then transport some silk and silk back to Yongcheng marketing ......

That is a long, long time ago, this Yongcheng outside the Jinxi River, a place called "Guanhualou", set up a number of small wharves, wharves are moored full of boats, there is a boat on the young man called A Niu, which A Niu due to young Loss of parents, by his uncle to introduce people to let A Niu ten years old on this ship to do on the mate, a dry is seven, eight years, now this young man looks like a hall, strong ox, because of the few words, honest, hardworking, and near and far known ...... This boat boss is a love of money as a guy! ......

Flowers bloom two, each table a branch. That is to say that this yongcheng ten miles have a yu hua mountain, the mountain has "jinhua hole" and "yinhua hole" two ancient holes, jinhua hole living in the "jinhua flower nymphs", yinhua hole living in the "yinhua flower nymphs" (another saying is "fox spirit"), the sister jinhua can turn the ground stone into gold, the little sister yinhua is able to point something for silver.

Yinhua is a watery, fresh and beautiful girl, spicy and sentimental, night often to the Jinxi River to play, often see the diligent, simple, honest and unsupported cattle, the flower fairy compassion and adoration arose, yearning for life on earth ...... two young people met! ...... After that, whenever the night time, the boat canopy above a white cloud, a burst of floral fragrance, a village girl into the back cabin and Ah Niu dating ...... a few days in a row, the flower fairy Yinhua are as expected, one day by the captain of the boat discovered the secrets of the back of the cabin, and then straight ask The boat boss, who was in a trance, could not withstand the pressure of the boss of the boat, had to tell him one by one the "beautiful encounter" and the "soulmate encounter".

One day, the ship from Yung City to carry goods back to Yongcheng, in Shunchang County, Yangkou town stopover encountered a Taoist priest, the boat boss to the bull's "erotic encounters" to the Taoist priest, Taoist priests have a plan to teach how to teach how to how to keep the flower fairy to become the bull's daughter-in-law, to become the boat bosses to help ...... boat back to Yongcheng pier, after dinner, the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss to the boat boss. The boat boss put a large string of ancient money and seven complete big green rice in the hands of the cattle to teach "chance" ......

As usual, the night light, to be Yinhua into the cabin, the boat boss will secretly take the boat on the Penny Yinhua's floral clothes stored up ...... the cabin! In the heart of the nervousness of the ox will be the seven chewed green rice sprayed in the face of Yinhua, Yinhua was shocked, turned away, but the boat on the Penny that there is still she took off the "flower clothes"? Without the "flower clothes" she became a common mortal, that is, we often say that ordinary people ...... also, a love, a righteousness, lovers end up in love ...... the next morning, the neighboring boat people see Yinhua, the news immediately spread, a moment! The boat people come and go, lively and extraordinary.

The boat boss was originally a greedy and colorful people, today saw the silver China although the rough dress, still can not hide her natural charm, so flowery face and moonlight, flowers like Tianxian fairy ...... so that he did not want to be good, and suddenly had the idea of evil, since I saw the silver China, the boss of the boat something or other always to the back of the cabin drilling, and sometimes the cattle is not still moving feet, Yinhua is a clever and clever, and the boat boss is not a good person. The lady of the house, rough work, fine work all can do, treating people reasonable, hospitable, neighbors help each other, neighboring boat sister-in-law small daughter-in-laws are a hard to praise her ...... days to the late autumn, Yinhua with the boat to Rongcheng, a mooring dock, the boat boss left a sentence: "two days after the boat back to the city of Yung," went ashore! ...... Ah Niu was busy for a few days, the third day evening finally loaded the goods, Ah Niu took the time to help Yinhua early dinner, after dinner to take Yinhua into the Yung City store to store by the way to help his wife Yinhua to buy a piece of satin to make a new shirt. At this time, the boat boss came back, full of smiles to the cow said: "these days you are busy on and off enough hard work, the goods are also ready, our brother and sister tonight good drink a few compulsion, music and music and" without saying pulling the cow's hand to the shore of the pavilion to go to ...... wine after three rounds of drinks, to see the cow has been seven drunkenness will be a single straight to the heart of the matter, said: the cow ah, listen to what I say you! That Yinhua is originally a flower demon (fox spirit), people are afraid to and we rowed the boat, you repair her I help you to marry another daughter-in-law it ......

A cow heard, as if a blow to the head, the wine all disappeared, the wine table set off, to the river side of the freighter docked in the direction of the direct run to go, and it is not surprising to see the boat after the cabin furniture scattered all over the ground, empty, gone, and no one to see the boat, the boat is not a good place. The first time I saw this was when I was in the back of the boat, and I saw that the back of the boat was scattered all over the place.

It turned out that the wolf heart of the boat boss, private buy a few big men, Yinhua snatched alive, to 300 taels of silver sold to a rich merchant as a concubine (another said to be sold to the brothel).

Yinhua in Banyan City, although food and clothing, but the days are like years, the whole day in tears, she misses her beloved brother Ah Niu and sister Jinhua day and night, thinking, only far away in the northwestern Fujian Yuhua Mountain Jinhua sister can save her from the sea of bitterness ...... In this way, Yinhua survived three years, the rich merchant also relaxed the surveillance on her, this year The Chrysanthemum Festival, Yinhua went to the market to buy food, contact with a boatman surnamed Shi, to understand that is the Yongcheng people, he has always been on the boat outside, honest and reliable, hometown to see the hometown of two tears, Yinhua to their own misfortunes one by one told the boatman, the boatman is very sympathetic to her misfortunes, agreed to ventilate for her.

Trusted by Yinhua, he returned to Yongcheng, out of the south gate, to the Yuhua, according to Yinhua said the direction of the search, and really see in the ancient Teng winding, spring water flow of the stone wall next to the cave with a written "Jinhua ancient cave", but the stone door closed, the boatman in accordance with the recipe taught by the Yinhua, the thousand-year-old tree worship and worship, called three times, "Jinhua blossom," the sound fell, the stone door wide open, from the inside out of a golden flower! She asked the boatman with a smile on her face what is the purpose of your visit. I heard that Yinhua sister entrusted this person to send a message, in the light of the pine torch, and hurriedly led the boatman into the cave hall, the cave clouds steam haze, dazzling clever and strange, winding paths, as if into the underground palace landscape is breathtaking, the boatman away from home for several months to think of home fathers and mothers and his wife, it is not appropriate to stay and appreciate the beauty of this cave, rejected the enthusiasm of the Jinhua stayed to dine, then excused themselves from going home, the Jinhua look at the boatman insisted on leaving, and no longer stay. No longer stay, in order to thank her sister-in-law Yinhua out of the suffering of the good shipwright, sent him a bag of bulging cloth pockets, and repeatedly instructed never open halfway to the home and then look at the shipwright nodded, said goodbye and walked out to the "Guanhua building" ferry crossing the river by boat, sitting on the boat, hands tightly holding the bag, with the boat passengers and the ship's top workers curious to ask what this treasure ah, holding so tight, the shipwright! Is also a loyal and honest people, this "Banyan City to save women" told everyone, we all feel curious, asked him to open the bag to see, this light bag of things in the end is what good things, the boatman and soft ears, can not stand everyone's persuasion, had to open the parcel to see, only to see it is a piece of shiny melonshells children, in the sound of laughter in the boat to the bag of melonshells to the heart of the river to pour, "clattering! ......" strange appeared those melon shells a touch of water into a yellow golden golden melon sunk to the bottom of the river ...... boatmen look at the river sigh, really regret not listening to the words of the Jinhua girl, had to give up, go home ... ...

Besides, this Jinhua girl received the news, immediately entered the city of yong looking for the black-hearted boat boss home, a little skill to get to take back the silver China's flowery clothes to cloud driving fog straight to the banyan city, to save her sister silver China ...... sister reunion, mixed feelings of sadness and joy, there is a "stream of tears of sadness, v... Parting love"...... sisters rushed back to yongcheng to inquire about the whereabouts of the cow, but there is no news ......

In a full moon and starry night, jinhua yinhua sisters came to the boss of the boat home to listen to the cow missing, only to hear the boss of the boat from the quadrangle rooms The conversation came from the room: "Wife, today can be in the city peacefully live a life of fish and meat, thanks to my last trip to Banyan City, the bull dead brain, that night he pushed him to the river, let him feed the fish to go ...... Yinhua sold at a good price, hahaha, coupled with the shipment and the "flower demon" of the "processing" income less said earned Five or six hundred silver ......", "you this dead ghost really unethical ......" a burst of maniacal laughter ......

sisters heard, anger, you want is not gold and silver? And yet you do such unethical and hurtful things! Give you gold and silver for you to go to the funeral! In an instant, countless gold and silver from the sky, as if the sky full of stars have fallen to the south of the city of yongcheng, gold and silver more and more down, the boss of the boat's entire body are buried under the mountain of gold and silver ......

The next morning, the people of yongcheng city, found that in the south of the city there is an unfathomably large pond, instead of the boss of the boat home courtyard, at the same time, in the "Guanhua building", the city of yongcheng city, the people of the city of yongcheng city, the people of the city of the city of yongcheng city. From the "Guanhua building" more than a mile downstream from the center of the river, slowly revealed a large sand and gravel beach, above the net is yellow-orange sand and slippery round pebbles, it is said that this is the rescue of the Yinhua girl boatman from Jinhua there to bring back the "melons gold" into the, so far, people still call them "Jinshazhou", from now on, Jinki River, there is a sand and gold, which is really the name of the Jinshazhou is not false, Jinki, Jinki, the river has a gold. The name Jinshazhou is really famous, Jinxi, Jinxi, gold in the river. Nowadays, every dry season, there are often people to the Jinxi River gold panning oh.

Jinhua Yinhua returned to Mount Yuhua, living a life of seclusion and cultivation to go. Sisters have different personalities, Jinhua still do not like to show their faces, and the world, so people to still can not find the exact entrance to the Jinhua hole; Yinhua's door is always open, allowing people to enjoy the tour. Loyal and honest people into the Yinhua Cave will be Yinhua girl's hospitality, she will personally recount to you this beautiful and touching and sad story, if it is ill-intentioned, ill-intentioned people into the cave, then do not want to come out again. This Yinhua hole (will be music Hakka dialect "Yinhua" and "people Hua" homophonic) is said to be "ten into nine out", "nine into eight out", there is always a come out, did not come out of that must be ill-intentioned, ill-intentioned villain.

This is the legendary story of Jinhua and Yuhua.

The story of Jinhua and Yuhua truly reproduces the prosperity of the water transportation industry at that time. When my friends finished analyzing these Hakka folklore I depicted and narrated, whether it is also like me in front of the eyes of the emergence of such a real-life scene: by the Ruo leaf shed of the crow's nest boat, a section of a section of long wooden rows, the ripples of the Jinxi, the setting sun of the afterglow of the composition of the picture; your ears as if to hear the paddle sound of "Nai alas Nai alas," the aftermath of the curling horn sound, a chorus of three sighed South words sound and melodious The sound of tea ...... these folk stories passed down from generation to generation, are seeped and will be the unique customs of the Hakka folk, so that it is interwoven into a colorful Guyong customs painting, which is undoubtedly the beautiful and fertile will be the music and add a bright landscape.
